Clouds have obscured satellite views of the volcano during the past 24 hours. There have been no reports of eruptive activity.

Sudden explosions of blocks and ash remain possible with little or no warning. Associated ash clouds could exceed 20,000 feet above sea level. If a large ash-producing event occurs, nearby seismic, infrasound, or volcanic lightning networks should detect the event and alert AVO staff. There is no real-time seismic monitoring network on Mount Cleveland and AVO is unable to track activity in real time.

Clouds have obscured Iliamna over the past 24 hours. No unusual activity has been observed or reported.

The current level of activity at Iliamna does not indicate an imminent or certain eruption. Seismic activity appears to be declining gradually. A similar seismic swarm occurred at Iliamna Volcano in 1996-1997 and was not followed by eruptive activity. Prior to an eruption, AVO would expect to see a significant increase in earthquake activity beneath the volcano.
